E-mail Copy: Gig Interest

To: Bar Manager
From: Performer

Title: Gig Offer
Body: Hello, I am a performer and a friend told me you are looking for some new help on Wednesdays and Fridays. I am interested. See my YouTube channel below. It has over 50 million views. I have Wednesdays and Fridays open. I am employed by the Philadelphia Orchestra. I play the piano. Pardon my grammar and poor writing, I have spent 20,000 hours of my 30 year life slaving over instruments and haven't give words much thought. I just want to work with some local spots, I really miss that. Typically my rate is $1,000 per hour, but I'll do these for free. Like I said, I just miss that small town scene and sharing my talents where they aren't expected. By the way, the Bar looks awesome online. I left a good review on Yelp and Facebook and followed your e-mail list. I look forward to spending a lot of money there with my wife, her extended family and extensive network of friends.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reach this,
Performer

Body:
Performer,
Thank you for reaching out. Unfortunately we are looking for someone with a different set of skills. What an amazing YouTube channel! If only that kind of work applied to our establishment! We are a piano bar just across the street from the Philadelphia Orchestra. Most of our current performers are college students. It's all we can afford right now. I do have Wednesdays and Fridays open. I am looking for a candidate with experience at the Juliard school who would be able to catch a train after class to our bar in Northern Liberites and sleep in the upstairs office. You seem to really know what you're doing, we're just looking for someone with a little more skin under their belt, that's all. Thanks for the reviews, but we don't check them and that doesn't affect our business. We stopped the e-mail list, too, but if you want to follow us you can like us on Twitter. I'll definitely keep you in mind if in the future I need any more work!

Thank you and good luck!
Bar Manager
